Hi George, massive credit on this achievement! It has inspired me to try to do the same but I have no more room. 10 years ago nobody would have dreamed of growing these in Melbourne
Hey George, looking good, interesting that the fruit are so small now but will still grow to a good size later in the year. I’ve got more Rollinia hanging on but they’re fingernail size, hopefully they can hang on and grow to a decent size!
Wow… a lots of annonas fruits. That’s awesome!!! We have a lot of rain here in Destin, Fl. Our soil is very sandy so a lot of work to build the soil in order to grow anything. Being a gardener is a lot of work so I feel you.
We apparently have similar growing zones, but are worlds apart with humidity and summer rainfall when it's really needed. Most of my rain drops in winter together with hard freezes! Thanks for sharing and watching!
Gary Matsuoka ('Gary's Best Gardening') reckons that sandy soil is excellent for growing plants, as it offers the roots excellent oxygenation. You just have to irrigate well in the hot and dry weather, and you have to heavily mulch the surface with dead plant matter, which not only helps conserve moisture and helps keep roots cool, but it also provides a steady release of water-soluble nutrients (nitrate, phosphate, potassium ions, etc), which trickle down to the plant roots in the underlying sand as the dead organic matter of the mulch gets broken down by bacteria and fungi.
Hey mate, nah we like the talk, entertaining commentary adds to the video! Very nice amount of fruit there, very jealous. That shade cloth you have at the start of the vid, is that to protect from the wind? I'm considering doing something similar at mine to protect the young guys
That’s amazing ❤ Congratulations George !
Can you please videos like George. We would love to see your videos Also. Give us your knowledge and experiences.
Thanks, mate! Yours is amazing too!
@@sabisingh1045Sorry, I take a lot of photos of my plants but I’m too lazy to do the videos.
@@turoidownunder8410 all good. I too am lazy at times
Great job George!
Thanks!
Brilliant annona update mate, they really are improving year after year 👍
Absolutely
I like your growing enthusiasm!
One of the many benefits of being time rich with close to zero commitments!

You gotta have atleast one custard apple tree or cherimoya, Paul! Cherimoya actually prefer our colder climate, so too easy.
Your garden is just such absolute HAPPINESS 😅😅😅. DIVERSITY, ABUNDANCE OF FRUIT, & HEALTHY LUSHNESS!!!!😊
Thanks!!

Sounds great, Ben! It's cold as the Blue Mountains here in winter, not much growing until it warms up in spring.

@garycard1456 I have sandy soil in Brisbane, Australia and everything grows very well in it.

Glad you enjoyed! Shade cloth was for the scorchathon we just had, removing it next week when the season is over.
The leaves on the first tree makes me think it might be atemoya instead of cherimoya. Cherimoyas have round, nearly circular leaves.
The first tree has smooth skinned fruit, with few bumps, whereas the fruit from the atemoya has all the typical features.
Why cant you grow cherimoya in darwin? generally curious
Requires chill hours. gardenoracle.com/images/annona-cherimola.html
@@RealLifeFruitopia thanks as always
omg, you already at jamaica lol
Yeah and every other part of the world.
What’s your favorite fruit tree?
Durian!
Nice! That’s also my favorite fruit.
